Hideki Matsuyama set the PGA Tour scoring record with his emphatic performance at The Sentry. The 2021 Masters Champion finished 35-under par and made 35 birdies or better, setting another record for most birdies or birdie holed in a 72-hole event.
Matsuyama’s stellar showing earned him a whopping $3.6 million, a lofty prize for the first Signature Event of the season. The overall purse was $20 million, as numerous players took home big paydays, even if they did not fare too well. The top 50 players from last year’s FedEx Cup standings earned invites to Kapalua, as did anyone who won a PGA Tour event during the 2024 season, including opposite-field events.
But Matsuyama conquered them all, relying on his incredible ball-striking to set multiple records. He finished second in strokes gained approach and third in strokes gained putting, meaning he converted most of the opportunities he gave himself. He did birdie almost half the holes he played, after all.
